Martian Vistas

Three quite similar looking 'drive direction' mosaics taken as Oppy headed west across repetitive sand ripples on sols 2013, 2014 and 2015. In the 2015 image however, the start of the rock pavement that Oppy drove to on 2017 can be seen in the middle distance.

A two frame L257 mosaic of Gjøa Crater that Oppy passed on sols 2014/2015 is also included here.
